Darren Watson Poet Narrative

Heather Lucky Heather

Heather. Lucky heather .
I can still hear her Irish tone 
Heather, Lucky heather
This beautiful  gypsy stood alone .
Her raven hair cascading 
like a midnight waterfall 
Heather, Lucky heather
In the market place she calls . 

Her emerald eyes smiling 
As I stop so I might buy
Heather, Lucky heather
Once again I hear her cry .
She giggles at my teasing 
When I purchase her lucky charm 
Heather , Lucky heather 
Please let this beautiful gypsy take my arm.

I took her home to meet my parents
I heard the warnings that they gave
A Romany is a Romany
From the cradle to the grave
One day she'll up and leave you 
Heading for another town 
Heather , Lucky heather 
Help my gypsy to settle down . 

Ten years we were together 
Ten years i'll never forget 
My beautiful Irish gypsy 
I'm so happy that we met .
Then she heard her people calling 
From across the Irish sea 
Heather , Lucky heather
Help me to set her free .

I have loved her for so long 
Now it is time for us to part 
She is leaving with the key 
That will always unlock my heart.
I know we'll meet again some day 
She is part of my destiny 
Heather , Lucky heather 
Watch over her for me .

Let her know how much I love her
Whisper to her every day 
Tell me if she should need me 
and i'll soon be on my way 
Let her slow dance with her new lover
In the most beautiful moonlight
Heather . Lucky heather 
Let her walk in gods sweet light.
